SUMMARY:Saul Williams Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:“Williams has been breaking ground since his debut album\, Amethyst Rock Star\, was released in 2001. After gaining global fame for his poetry and writings at the turn of the century\, Williams has performed in over 30 countries and read in over 300 universities\, with invitations that have spanned from the White House\, the Sydney Opera House\, Lincoln Center\, The Louvre\, The Getty Center\, Queen Elizabeth Hall\, to countless villages\, townships\, community centers\, and prisons across the world.” \nHis most recent work is Martyr Loser King (2016). “Written and recorded between Senegal\, Reunion Island\, Paris\, Haiti\, and New Orleans and New York\, Martyr Loser King is a multimedia project that engages the digital dialogue between the 1st and 3rd Worlds\, and the global street sounds that yoke the two.” (saulwilliams.com)\nOther works: US(a.) (2015)\, The Dead Emcee Scrolls (2006)\, Said the Shotgun to the Head (2003). \n\nWe are honoured to host him as one of our performers and facilitators in this year’s Verses Festival of Words. \n \n$40 Advance Available here on Brown Paper Tickets; http://saulwilliamsmasterclass.bpt.me. $50 At Door.

This event is a scent-reduced space. To assist us in our goal of increased access\, please be aware of our attempt to reduce the impact of personal scented products (perfumes\, scented oils\, etc) in our festival spaces. \nAccessibility Info for Wise Hall: \nYou’ll note on arrival a set of 10 railed stairs leading into the Hall. The wheelchair accessible entrance is around back. For this event there will be someone posted at the back door throughout the event. \nOnce inside\, you’ll find a spacious wood-floored hall\, open concept\, tables and chairs set up throughout. The stage (accessible only via stairs) is to your left\, and the washrooms towards the back of the hall. The washrooms are currently gendered\, but will be marked “gender neutral” for Verses. There are two sets of washrooms. The one to the right of the bar\, currently marked “women”\, is wheelchair accessible with no urinals and one additional stall. The one to the left of the bar is currently marked “men” is on the same level and is now wheelchair accessible\, with 2 urinals and one wheelchair access stall and one non-wheelchair access stall. The door has been adjusted to more easily fit wheelchair/scooter users. Overall the space is great.\n\nRead the Radical Accessibility Mapping Project’s WISE Hall overview for complete audit.\n \n \n
